the 2011 soft red winter wheat growing season ended with Kentucky farmers harvesting 410,000 acres of the 530,000

acres planted, for a total production of 27.9 million bushels of grain. an average yield of 68 bushels per acre was recorded (table 1). The acreage not harvested for grain was primarily used for forage production. small grain performance tests were conducted in six of the seven agroclimatic regions of Kentucky (table 2). agricultural areas within each region are considered to have similar soil types and climatic conditions. each region having a substantial acre-age of a small grain commodity had at least one trial conducted in that region for that commodity. The objective of the Kentucky small grain variety perfor-mance test is to evaluate varieties of wheat, oat and barley that are commercially available or may soon be available to Kentucky farmers. new varieties are continually being developed by ag-ricultural experiment stations and commercial firms. annual evaluation of small grain varieties and selections provides farm-ers, seed producers, and other agricultural workers with current information to help them select the varieties best adapted to their locality and individual requirements. Because weather, soil, and other environmental factors may alter varietal performance from one location to another, seven wheat tests were conducted at seven locations throughout the state (table 2). in addition, wheat and oat tests for varietal dif-ferences in forage potential and straw yields were conducted at one location.

Experimental Methods one hundred entries were evaluated under both conven-tional and no-till cultural practices. no-till tests were grown at three locations, and conventional tests were grown at four locations. The experimental design was a randomized complete block. The tests had four replications per entry, and the data presented are the average response from the four replications. The plots were planted with specially built multi-row conven-tional and no-till cone seeders. conventional test plots consisted of six rows to form a plot 4 ft wide and 15 ft long, which was later trimmed to 12 ft in length. no-till plots consisted of seven rows to form a plot 5 ft wide and 25 ft long, which was later

trimmed to 20 ft in length. Plots were harvested with a small plot combine. The preceding crop for all tests was corn. tests were conducted using intensive management practices. typical herbicide applications included a spring application for broadleaf control and a fall preplanting burn-down (no-till tests only) application. fungicides were applied in the spring on all but two (disease rating) tests. an insecticide for aphid control was typically applied in the fall and spring. nitrogen was applied in a february/march split application at a rate of approximately 30/60 lb per acre (conventional tests) or 40/70 lb per acre (no-till).

The forage test was planted using conventional tillage and was harvested using a small plot forage combine at the milk stage. straw yield was measured using a small plot forage com-bine following grain harvest in the Bluegrass Region test.

Characteristics Evaluated Grain yields were calculated from the weight of grain from each plot and reported in bushels per acre (bu/a) based on 60-lb, 48-lb, and 32-lb standard bushel weights for wheat, barley and oats, respectively at 13.5% moisture content. test weights (lb/bu) were determined using a Harvestmaster classic Grain-Gage. Lodging was reported as the percentage of plant lodging at maturity; winter survival was reported as the percentage of survival after spring green-up. Winter survival was 100% for all locations in 2011. Plant height was measured in inches from the soil surface to the top of the grain head. Heading dates were reported as the day an estimated 50% of the heads had extended above the flag leaf collar. Disease ratings (leaf blotch complex and powdery mildew) were recorded from the Logan county (non-fungicide) test, and fusarium head scab ratings were re-corded at Lexington, Ky. forage and straw yields are expressed as dry matter in tons per acre.

Results and Interpretation since genetic expression of a variety is greatly influenced by environmental conditions, it is best to have several years’ data at multiple locations from which to draw conclusions. Performance of a variety tested for only one year should not be compared with a multi-year average of another variety because it is possible that results in one of the other years were extremely good or poor and thus not comparable. The yield of a variety is relative and should be compared with the yields of the other varieties in the same experiment and at the same location or within the same analysis across locations. small differences in yield of only a few bushels per acre between two varieties from an individual test should not be interpreted to indicate the superiority of one variety over another. However, if one variety consistently outyields another over a period of several years, the chances are that the differences are real. LsD (least significant difference) values are listed at the bottom of table columns to indicate whether differences are statistically significant. Lodging data are very difficult to interpret. a high-yielding variety should not necessarily be downgraded because of a high percentage of lodging for a given year at a given location. Local weather conditions, such as wind and rain, may cause a variety to lodge much more than it normally does. Variety tri-als normally have a greater degree of lodging than do farmer

fields. it should also be emphasized that a variety reported to be 50% lodged does not imply that only 50% of the grain could be harvested. With good equipment, most of the grain can often be saved. Kentucky’s climate and soils are well suited for the produc-tion of high-quality soft red winter wheat. no single variety has all the desirable characteristics, but each has certain advantages. yield potential, straw strength and yield, height, heading date, grain quality, disease resistance, and forage potential are im-portant in choosing a variety. Winter barley is less winter-hardy than winter wheat but more hardy than winter oats. The degree of winter-hardiness, straw strength, and maturity are important characteristics when choosing a variety. Barley (hulled and hulless) variety performance data are presented in tables 13 and 14. oat forage, grain, and straw yield data are presented in table 15.

Test Conditions Very dry weather during october facilitated timely planting throughout much of the state. The 2011 Kentucky small grain variety tests were planted between october 8 and october 17. cool temperatures from november through february limited early growth and development. Warmer temperatures in march stimulated plant growth. frequent rainfall in april and may favored leaf and glume blotch disease pressure throughout the state; head scab developed later in central Kentucky. Hot, dry conditions in early June favored timely dry-down. in some areas, harvest was delayed due to frequent rainfall in mid June.
